Got bored with the default android switcher!!! A new switcher is on its way to change it, it is called the "Switchr". It is a application for all the android devices which will help to change the trend of switching between multiple applications on your android device. This application has been created by a XDA senior member, Mohammad Adib. This application is inspired by the Paranoid Android's Halo. Users can use this application to switch between running applications and even close them by swiping over it. If your device is rooted, you can also integrate the app with Halo, enabling even more possibilities.

The best part of this application is that it is free and has three styles of switching. So it is a must to install application on your android phone or tablet as it is compatible for all android devices. This application can be easily downloaded from the Google Play store. Source- XDA-Developers
